Third parties are just being smart. PS3, 360 and PC have the bigger install base than Wii and more than 50% of the market. That's why most  third parties are making games on all 3 instead of the Wii.

How can they be smart if most are losing money?

How is it better to develop for the PS3/360/PC and still come out in the red?

The market leader usually has the majority of marketshare. This gen, the Wii has lesser market share then the HD 'Twins', which coincidentally have a big "core" market, and also share the majority of there libraries.

Nintendo aren't solely to blame, but a large part of the blame lies on there shoulders. And i stand by that the marketting for Wii, is what has given it the lead but has also given it that audience that don't care for the big core 3rd party titles.

You aren't a fan of moneyhatting, i don't know all that many people who ARE fans of it... But if it gets you the goods, it is surely something to do. Microsoft have had no problem showing the cash this gen and they have stolen a HUGE piece of marketshare from Sony. While it isn't exactly the best thing to do... It provides results. And when you have piles of cash like Nintendo, it's not too much trouble to use some of it.

People are supporting the Wii though, just not with the titles the majority of "core" gamers want. And again... Why should they? They get VERY good sales on PS360 for a whole bunch of the games. PS360 have greater (and growing) marketshare. PS360 don't have a whole bunch of shovelware. PS360 have proven to have the market to support these kind of games.

As for Ubisoft, it was going to happen eventually to one of the big names. There is only so much market on the Wii that will buy party games and other random shovelware. But then... What if it happens to other big companies? Lack of shovelware (good), and a continued lack of core support(bad)? What then? What if NMH2 doesn't even reach the 500k expeced mark? Will that push Ubisoft even further away?

Edit: Sorry, forgot to give you a game, have 3... And i could find more
Muramasa: TDB
MadWorld
Dead Space: Extraction

you barely noticed their bitterness? lol. Did you not see them looking forward to the conduit, and shitting all over modern warfare 2, or any other shooter on the HD consoles, or downplaying AAA games like RE 5, while hyping average to best exclusive niche games like madworld, da blob, silent hill, final fantasy crystal bearers, cold mountain, house of the dead, no more heroes. Don't forget their elitist attitude that playing games with a "pad" is last gen and they couldn't go back...... Its real funny actually. I'm playing games while they brag about sales.

They're hungry for third party support, they are just too bitter to admit it.

The bigger install base having the best 3rd party support has always been the case, why is it suddenly a problem now that Nintendo is back on top? It's a little thing called 'common sense'; a bigger install base means more potential sales.

Er, Ari, we are saying we would like stronger third party support...

How is that not admitting it?

Those 3 games would have done blockbuster numbers on an HD console? Also Wii is dangerously close to 50% marketshare does that matter? Probably not. Wii could have 60% and I doubt the situation would be any different. Also if developing for PS360 was so profitable why are studios closing down after 1 flop and larger devs are posting record losses? And if NMH1 was such a flop why on earth would there be a sequel?

Every third party game you find on Wii to "prove your point" will ultimately only prove mine ; )

WOW.  We once more get a game company is lazy comment by some individual on the internet who very likely hasn't even come remotely close to working in the game industry.

Reality break: one isn't paid for not being lazy.  In the industry people are paid of they produce games and systems that provide entertainment for people, that they will pay money for and recommend.  As far as I am concerned, 20+ million in sales of Wii Mario Kart, and the continued sales of the Wii Fit franchise, and Super Mario Wii show FAR more knowing what people want than the whining of people on here that, "Waa waa waa, Nintendo is lazy.  They don't pander to the core gamer... waa waa waa."  

Flat out, if you don't like what Nintendo is doing, then don't buy their console or their games.  As for myself, I believe they know what they are doing, far more than what people here have to say.  I am sorry if the masses don't happen to find The Conduit and MadWorld as things they want to play.  Hey, maybe if the "hardcore" group stopped being so lazy, they could work to persuade families that MadWorld is DEFINITELY fun for the entire family, and how everyone must own it.  Hey hardcore gamers, why are you so lazy and not try harder to persuade the world of this?  If people here can get Valk Chronicles to matter, why can't you get the Conduit and MadWorld to matter?  If you did your job, wouldn't MadWorld be the top selling title among seniors?

The bigger install base isn't seen as the Wii, it is seen as the (as the industry puts it)... "HD Twins". Which have a greater market share than Wii, and also share a whole bunch of the same "core" fanbase.

you're an exception, most wii only owners in the site, lie to themselves and say that they're happi with the games they get .
